If sisters were free to express how they really feel, parents would hear this: "Give me all the attention and all the toys and send Rebecca to live with Grandma." ~Linda Sunshine

Where did the summer go? I promise to upload pictures when I can. My computer has been broken since my last post and so was my camera. I did get a new camera, but am still waiting on the computer.

The girls are in their second week of school already and so far, enjoying their new teachers. They both enjoyed taking separate buses to summer school. Yes, Eliza rode a big school bus and loved it, waving bye and saying "bye bye mum" to me. As for this school year, back to the carpool line for me!

Many photos to upload since our summer took us many places: To the pool where Ava learned all the strokes simply by watching the swim team and Eliza swam under the water with goggles on laughing at everything. To the beach where my foot got barbed by a baby stingray and became infected 'til 3 barbs were removed. To Charlotte to visit family; the NY Catskill mountains with Gramma to visit her birthplace and where I spent my childhood visiting Grandpa and Grandma; and to Philadelphia to visit my sister's new home as her husband's job took them away from (Gramma) and Richmond. Many fun days in between so...more to come.

Sorry it's been a while since I popped over to see what's going on in your family. I can't believe summer is over either -- as is September! Where does time go?

And I was especially saddened to read your previous post about your dog Sadie and the cat, it's especially hard for me today as I made an appointment with our veterinarian for this afternoon to bring our sweet old Rudy dog in. The hardest phone call I've ever had to make. And I totally know about the stomach ache, I feel physically sick every time I think about this appointment and he's lying on the floor beside me even as I type. God, I just hate this.

Glad all is well with the girls, Ava looks cute with shorter hair, but it will grow again!
